The power of music
Neversong begins with a disclaimer referring to loss and sadness. This, coupled with the psychological horror tag, can create a bit of discomfort when heading towards a gaming experience. However, the game quickly greets the player with a cheerful little tune to get Peet to explore his city.
This music continued to play as the game introduced the wacky cast of characters, which really gave Neversong a good charm. Honestly, the music cues, sound effects, and even voice acting can be the best part of the game. All of these elements help turn this adventure game into an experience worth trying.
The game seems to have a special emphasis on music. The music is actually tied directly to the gameplay. Each reward for completing a Neversong section is a small tune that apparently matters to Peet. I just wish the game would explain because this music is important to the characters and what story was behind it.
Particular attention should also be given to voice acting. Performance is nothing special compared to major AAA game titles. However, each actor gives each character a great personality. Each performance carries a weight of nostalgia for the cartoons of the past. It makes interacting with these characters a real joy in a game that tries to give you the creeps.
Final verdict
Neversong is a great adventure game for the price it is offered at (currently $ 14.99 on Steam). Players can expect a quick dive into an interesting world. Some of the puzzles found inside can be quite challenging, but the combat is fairly straightforward and straightforward. The story doesn’t go anywhere new or fresh, but the journey itself is worth it. In the end, this is a great choice for horror fans looking to kill a few hours on a boring day.
